Leather-trimmed centre panel with red stitching replaces the plain sliding panel for a cohesive, factory-option cabin finish across all RX8 models.
$400
The RX8 leather sliding panel is a genuine Mazda console trim piece that replaces the standard non-stitched sliding panel with a leather-trimmed surface and contrasting red stitching. It suits owners who want a more considered centre console finish without departing from the factory layout.
Sourced new from Mazda, it carries the fit and finish of an OEM component rather than the unknown condition of a used interior part.
For RX8 enthusiasts, this leather sliding centre panel upgrade is one of those quiet changes that reads immediately as intentional. The leather surface changes how the console feels at a glance and under the hand.
The red stitching draws the eye toward a detail that rewards a closer look. It sits most naturally alongside other red stitch interior pieces, pulling the cabin into a more coherent theme.
Genuine parts like this are becoming harder to source new. Find further detail on Mazda’s genuine parts programme at Mazda Australia.
Round out the red stitch interior theme with the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob (Round Shape, Red Stitch), which brings the same stitched leather detail to the most-touched point in the cabin. The GENUINE MAZDA OEM Leather Gear Shifter Boot Surround closes the gap between the gearknob and this RX8 leather sliding panel for a fully coordinated finish. Add the GENUINE MAZDA OEM Floor Mat Set to carry the factory-quality theme down to the cabin floor.

This is a genuine Mazda OEM part, manufactured to factory specification. That means factory-correct fit and finish, and a new component of known condition rather than a used part with an uncertain history.
The panel features contrasting red stitching on the leather trim. It pairs naturally with other genuine Mazda red-stitch interior pieces, such as the OEM 6-Speed Rotary Leather Gearknob with red stitching, for a cohesive cabin finish.
As a direct OEM replacement, the panel is designed to fit exactly as the original did, requiring no cutting, drilling or modification. Most owners with basic DIY experience can swap the panel without specialist tools, though the exact steps will depend on the console configuration of your specific car.
Yes. Because it is a genuine Mazda component, the leather quality, red stitching colour and finish are consistent with other OEM red-stitch interior parts such as the genuine Mazda gearknob, making it straightforward to build a coordinated factory-style cabin.
A used sliding panel may have worn leather, faded stitching or damage from the previous vehicle, and its history is unknown. A new genuine Mazda panel arrives in factory condition with no wear, giving you a reliable starting point for a refreshed interior.
